Overview
I am a singer/songwriter focused on bringing life to the party. My range is everything from well-known classics to niche, hidden gems, which incorporates a "rise and fall" flow to every setlist.

April 7, 2023Furse is an Amazing Talent!
Josh is not just an amazing singer and performer. His repertoire covered a variety of genres - including his own original songs - that kept everyone, from children to the more 'senior', enthralled. I don't think I have ever seen a performer engage with an audience so effortlessly; their response was so enthusiastic that the kids came running up to get photos and wanted him to stay and play games with him. People came up to me after the event and were so excited by his performance.

Appreciate the kind words, Amy! I know I had a ton of fun playing the event, so I'm glad to hear you all did too. Come back to town soon!

April 15, 2021Great Attitude and Great Skill
I’ve been leading my band since 2016 and Josh came on as an acoustic guitarist, electric guitarist, and singer for our band this year. His attitude is always amazing no matter the situation which is a great trait in any performer. Coming from a musician myself, Josh KNOWS what he is doing. He’s constantly improving and learning in order to make his performance better than it already is. He’s got a great voice, great guitar chops, and great confidence on the stage. He won’t let you down.

April 14, 2021Fun and Relaxing
Every time I hear Josh perform, I’m reminded of home and growing up. His voice is smooth and calming, as well as being energetic at the same time! He has a mix of pop meets country meets singer-songwriter. 10 out of 10!!

What to expect
My typical set is 1-2 hours of just my guitar and myself, but I am happy to accommodate your needs. Creating an engaging, memorable experience is my #1 priority, which usually involves a variety of covers and originals, which can be catered to your particular event. I always keep it positive, family-friendly, and fun, but if you have any specific requests (i.e. kid-friendly/no adult language or themes, a specific genre you want me to stick to, etc.) let me know! I'm here to serve... and have fun in the process.
I love to tell stories, banter with the audience, and chat with people before and after the show. No matter what, though, I will always be pleasant to work with and I'll always shoot straight with you regarding expectations for each of us. Here's the way I see it: in business you make "connections," but in music, you just make friends, so I can't wait to meet you!
About
Josh Furse is a songwriter and performer in Nashville, TN. Whether he is playing his original songs or covers-with-a-twist, Josh’s energetic stage presence and honest lyrics bring spirit, optimism, and fun into any room.
Initially inspired by a love for 70's and 80's rock, Josh began writing songs at 15 years old. His songwriting influences run the gamut from Phil Collins to Thomas Rhett to Andy Grammer and more, all of whom taught him that genre does not determine a song's greatness; rather, great music comes from thoughtfulness, honesty, and a bit of charm.
Josh's love for performing is propelled by his desire to bring people together, whether that's in a booming stadium or by a quiet campfire. He's convinced, while we all grow older and become more drawn to cynicism, that entertainment and music—when done right—make us ALL kids again.
Additional booking notes
I can bring everything needed to perform, including a PA system capable of projecting to a small to mid-size crowd. Please let me know in advance if you would like me to bring my own equipment or if you already have a set-up fit for your expected crowd size.
